January - Miscellaneous

Sweet Branson likes to get lotion and massage my feet. I'm not complaining! 

  

Putting these kids to work! Actually Nolan is SO excited to empty the dishwasher whenever I ask him. A couple times he even said, "Can I do the dishwasher?!! Can I? CAN I?!!" Remember this when you're a teenager Nolan!

  

Nolan gave a great talk in Primary AND it was Branson's first day ❤

Nolan also LOVES helping shovel the snow. Most of the time he flings it right where I just shoveled haha, but it's so cute that he loves to help. 

Nolan has been learning to write his name. He often gets discouraged if he can't do something really well right away, but I'm proud of him for practicing and getting better. Look how great he wrote his name in this birthday card to GG! Still working on holding a pencil properly.

I love when they get a long, especially when Nolan reads to Branson ❤

Nolan in the primary program

Our first trip to Costco as a family of 5!

Justin came up with a really cute idea for our CFM lesson on the Iron Rod/Tree of Life. The boys LOVED it! And wanted to do it again.

 Getting some love from Gm Bailey

Nolan loves it when Caden comes to pick him up from school.

My life...and I LOVE it!

Branson really wanted to bring his umbrella into the store so he could "walk like Granky." ❤ 

When you try to escape to the restroom for a moment of peace...

Nolan loves helping to make bottles for Caden.

I sure love this handsome boy! Lately he only wants to wear pants with pockets because he loves putting his hands or other items in the pockets.

This Magna Doodle my manager, LaMar gave me has really helped Nolan write his letters! We have some letter tracing things and he's been loving using them. 

Branson is finally (barely) tall enough to ride the ferris wheel at Scheels and the boys really wanted to go.

Just as when Nolan rode it for the first time I was worried Branson would get nervous or scared up there, but he wasn't! He absolutely loved it!

Our awesome music leader created a 'mist of darkness' for the Iron Rod song. Nolan's face says it all!
